Chapter 254.

“At first in order to show the “identity”, I quietly took a cut of material from the Empress’s palace ……” Said here, the state uncle glanced at the yellow silk cloth.

Xu Qi’an understood, so that was where the yellow silk satin on Huang Xiaorou came from.

However, there should be a lot of concubines in the palace who have this kind of material, and it is difficult to use a piece of material alone as evidence before …… Xu Qi An thought of this, and suddenly heard Huai Qing faintly say:

“Lord Xu was able to follow the clues based on the results of the autopsy and pinpoint the state uncle, not to mention the mastermind behind the scenes who already knew the inside story.

“If the Queen Mother does not recognize it, then there will naturally be evidence that will help Lord Xu to investigate the head of the State Uncle. Besides, with our uncle’s iron bones, if he goes into the prison for a night, he will confess everything.”

The corner of Huaiqing’s mouth curved into an icy arc.

She has a point, it is my thinking to produce inertia, such a dude, I’m afraid that the handle is still a lot of it, the problem is not the knot lies in how much he has the handle, but in the queen’s choice …….

Although he’s a loser, he’s the only brother after all. If Jiro does bullying all day long, and my political opponents use him to attack me, will I save Jiro or not?

Xu Qi’an’s mind floated Xu New Year with a group of escorts, surrounded the good women in the center, Xu Erlang with a lewd smile on his face to welcome them ……

“The picture is so beautiful, it gives me goosebumps. Well, with Er Lang’s face value, he doesn’t need to use force, there are plenty of good women who crave his body …..” Xu Qi’an muttered in his heart.

“I want to see the Empress, I want to see the Empress ……..” Guoyu excitedly pounced on Huaiqing, like a child who had made a mistake but longed for someone to cover his ass:

“If His Majesty wants to abolish the queen, so be it, she doesn’t love His Majesty anyway, and the throne is dispensable to her. But Huaiqing, I’m the only uncle you have.”

“Shut up!”

Huaiqing was in a rare rage, snapping, “Father’s and Mother’s feelings are not to be denigrated by you.”

What a fucking talent! Instead of being bold, it is better to describe it as stupidity, doing things without thinking about the head, always thinking that someone is wiping his ass …… This is the same as a hot blooded teenager with an incomplete mind.

Put aside in my time is a giant baby ah, lack of society s poisonous beatings ……. Xu Qi’an tsked twice in his heart.

The key thing is that it is indeed very exciting to put a hat on the emperor, but the one who really dares to put it into action, this uncle of state is the only one who is a scorpion shitting on a scorpion.

Whether this matter is the Empress being abolished or the State Uncle getting his due punishment, it is the Emperor’s family matter and has little to do with him.

So his mind was relaxed, at most he was heartbroken for Huaiqing, but with Huaiqing’s distaste for Guoyu, he thought that even if Guoyu was beheaded, his first wife would not be sad.

Suddenly, Xu Qi’an had a flash of light in his heart, the Empress was the sibling of the State Uncle couldn’t really do anything to him, but how could Duke Wei tolerate this kind of piggybacking?

Even though the two families were family friends, with Duke Wei’s skill, it was absolutely easy to knock a dude and make him be honest.

“Does Lord Wei know about this?” Xu Qi’an asked.

At that, Wyvern immediately looked at him in thought.

“Wei Yuan?”

The State Uncle, who was terrified and helpless a moment before, suddenly turned sinister and angry, and sneered, ”Yes, all of this must have been designed by Wei Yuan, it must be him.

“He killed my father and now he’s trying to kill me, he’s a wolf with a heart of gold, he deserves to be cut off.”

Xu Qi’an’s small brain, flashed through great questions, before entering the mansion, Huaiqing also said to him that the Wei family and the Shangguan family were family friends.

But from the attitude of the uncle of state, this is not a worldly friend, it is a worldly enemy is more or less.

Thinking of this, Xu Qi’an immediately looked at Huaiqing, who frowned, seemingly equally unaware of the inner workings of the situation and confused by the words of the state uncle.

Xu Qi’an cleared her throat and took the initiative to question, “What do you mean, why did Wei Yuan want to harm you.”

The state uncle glanced at him and let out a cold laugh, “If I dare to say it, do you dare to listen? Do you know Wei Yuan back then …….”

“Pop!”

In the middle of his words, Xu Qi’an slapped over and interrupted the state uncle.

“Well, I don’t want to hear about it, I just want to take you back to the Shiftman Yamen now.” As Xu Qi’an spoke, he twisted his head to look at Huaiqing for her opinion.

Princess Huaiqing said, “Take it away.”

“Huaiqing, Huaiqing you can’t do this to me …… I’m the only son of the Shangguan family, your mother won’t approve of you doing this ……”

The state uncle was carried out of the mansion by Xu Qi’an, and according to Huaiqing’s orders, his state uncle was transferred to a few guards, who escorted him to the office of the night watchman.

Xu Qi’an straddled the horse’s back, and the eldest princess, who had just entered the carriage, opened the window and said in a clear, cold voice, “Lord Xu, it might be a good idea to ride in the same car as this palace.”

Aiya, this is not good, how can a lone man and woman share a carriage, my sister and aunt and I have never done a carriage ……. Xu Qi’an quickly jumped off the horse and got into the luxurious carriage built of golden nanmu wood.

As soon as the coachman jerked the whip, the two steeds neighing and striding their hooves, they drove swiftly and smoothly away from the street outside Shangguan’s ancestral mansion, heading towards the Imperial City.

Inside the carriage, which was covered with a fluffy cashmere carpet, was a soft cushion at the far end, which was covered with green kui dragons and cotton cushions, two large chairs and a nailed-down coffee table.

The Rapunzel took out tea leaves from the wooden cabinet under the coffee table, lit the smokeless beastly gold charcoal, and while boiling the tea, she said, “What does Lord Xu have to suggest?”

This is the ancient version of the nanny car ah …… This one carriage is estimated to be worth several thousand taels of silver ……. Xu Qi’an sighed in his heart, sniffing and musing:

“Your Highness must have an idea in mind.”

Huaiqing slowly nodded, “I have always disliked Uncle Guo, this matter started because of him and should end because of him.”

The subtext is: I’m ready to hand over my brother-in-law.

“But even so, the Empress is still guilty of harboring.” Xu Qi’an frowned.

This can be big or small, if Emperor Yuan Jing forgives magnanimously, then a small punishment is enough, no need to abolish the queen. On the contrary, Emperor Yuan Jing can use this to abolish the queen, and the crime is enough.

With Xu Qi’an’s understanding of Emperor Yuan Jing, this emperor was possessive and power-hungry, this kind of person had a deep heart, but the same eyes could not rub sand in his eyes.

“Who said that the mother harbored, is the uncle of the state to understand the case of Fu Fei Fei, know that what he did is about to be exposed, so sent a person to beg the mother bitterly. Mother remembered the love of the bloodline, although hate the state uncle to do this kind of mess palace things, but still chose to take the charge for the state uncle.”

Princess Huaiqing’s expression and tone were as steady as an old dog’s, as if “yes, this is the truth” was written on her face.

This …… Xu Qi An sighed, “The princess has a point.”

I’ll be damned, it’s hard to cheat and cheat on a woman if she marries her.

“This palace is curious as to why Lord Xu interrupted the sentence that Guoyu didn’t finish?” The eldest princess spoke lightly.

Xu Qi’an calmly scrutinized Huai Qing’s beautifully sculpted features, “What did Uncle Guo want to say just now? I don’t know, Your Highness, if you want to know, I’ll interrogate for you later.”

He had purposely interrupted the State Uncle just now because this matter involved Wei Yuan.

For Xu Qi’an, there were two things that he needed to avoid on his own, the first being the palace secrets, which needed no introduction.

The second was the secret that concerned Wei Yuan. Wei Yuan was his top boss and backer, so if he wanted to continue to mix in the capital, he had to maintain a good relationship with Wei Yuan.

Then there were some secrets of Wei Yuan that he shouldn’t know.

Unless Wei Yuan told him himself.

Huaiqing smiled and turned to say, “There’s no need for Lord Xu to worry about the Empress, Wei Gong will take care of it. What you need to do is find out who’s behind it, what does Lord Xu have in mind?”

Xu Qi’an frowned, looking at the alabaster pot whose bottom was licked by the greenish-red flames, and didn’t say anything for half a day.

……..

The Mockingbird Yamen, Haoqi Building.

The black-clothed official entered the tea room and respectfully said, “Duke Wei, Princess Huaiqing’s guards escorted the State Uncle to the Yamen, and the State Uncle is clamoring to see you.”

Wei Yuan looked down at the folders without lifting his head and faintly said, “There is no need to see the person who will die. Go inform Nangong Jinluo to properly entertain Uncle Guo.”

After the black clothed officials retreated, Wei Yuan closed the folders and slowly paced to the watchtower, his deep and vicissitudes gaze looking at the imperial palace.

……..

Returning to the palace, Huaiqing went straight to Fengqi Palace.

Xu Qi’an intended to continue checking the characters on the list, and he called out to the young eunuchs to collaborate on the process.

Followed the list, followed the charts, and hit a nail on the head when I got to the last person.

That person was a palace maid from Jingxiu Palace.

“Sister Luang’er is serving Your Highness, Lord Xu will come back later.” The eunuch guarding the door stopped Xu Qi’an.

Xu Qi’an looked at the color of the sky and said kindly, “Then when would it be best for this official to come over?”

The eunuch said salaciously, “Who knows, come back tomorrow.”

“The case is urgent, which can not be so delayed, I just a little understanding, a word.”

Xu Qi’an pulled out a five taels of silver silver ticket, “I’ll trouble the eunuch to be accommodating.”

The eunuch guarding the door collected the silver, turned his head and entered, and never returned.

“Deceitful!” The young eunuch was furious and said indignantly, “Lord Xu, that dog is playing you.”

“What would happen if I barged in like that?” Xu Qi’an’s face was expressionless.

“Aigoo, no.” The little eunuch hurriedly stopped it, advising, “Breaking into a consort’s chambers is a great offense.”

Xu Qi’an nodded and turned around.

The little eunuch trotted up and said, “So much for that, it’s getting late, your honor should go back first.”

“No, this officer will seek reimbursement from His Highness, the Proconsul.”
